A firm buys on terms of 2/10, net 30, but generally does not pay until 40 days after the invoice date. Its purchases totaled $1,095,000 per year. How much “non-free” trade credit does the firm use on average each year? What is the nominal cost of “non-free” trade credit? What is the effective cost rate of the costly credit?

Suppose a firm makes purchases of $3.65 million per year under terms of 2/10, net 30, and takes discounts. What is the average amount of accounts payable net of discounts? (Assume the $3.65 million of purchases is net of discounts—that is, gross purchases are $3,724,489.80, discounts are $74,489.80, and net purchases are $3.65 million.) Is there a cost of the trade credit the firm uses? If the firm did not take discounts but did pay on the due date, what would be its average payables and the cost of this nonfree trade credit? What would be the firm’s cost of not taking discounts if it could stretch its payments to 40 days?
